Company Overview
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, weve been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and were now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, were now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.
